  • Two sliding members 30 are pivotally coupled to the two side surfaces 203 , 204 , respectively.
  • Two latching members 72 are mounted to the side surfaces 203 , 204 , respectively.
  • the two latching members 72 and the two sliding members 30 are disposed at opposite ends of the side surfaces 203 , 204 correspondingly.
  • one end of the side surface 203 defines a round hole 220 .
  • the other end of the side surface 203 defines a through hole 211 .
  • the cover 20 further defines two tubular recesses 210 at opposite sides of the round hole 220 .
  • the tubular recesses 210 communicate with the through holes 211 correspondingly.
  • the tubular recesses 210 are configured to receive the latching members 72 .
  • the round holes 220 are configured to receive the sliding members 30 .
  • the sliding member 30 includes a pivot rod 301 , a guiding post 302 , and an elliptic limiting portion 303 .

  • the guiding post 302 is substantially elliptic.
  • the pivot rod 301 is rotatably received in the round hole 220 , such that the sliding member 30 is rotatable relative to the cover 20 .
  • the width of the limiting member 303 is wider than that of the sliding slot 40 .
  • the width of the guiding post 302 is slightly narrower than that of the sliding slot 40 . It should be noted that in assembly, when the pivot rod 301 engages with the round hole 220 , a desired force of sliding friction is achieved, such that the cover 20 can remain at a desired angular position relative to the body 10 .
  • the latching member 72 includes a columnar post 710 , a columnar connecting post 720 , and a columnar latching post 730 .

  • the cover 20 After assembly, because the limiting portion 303 is perpendicular to the guiding post 302 , and the width of the limiting member 303 is larger than that of the sliding slot 40 , the cover 20 is slidable in a parallel direction to the sliding slots 40 . Because the latching posts 730 are extendable from, and penetrable in the through hole 211 , the cover 20 is latched to the body 10 while the latching posts 730 extends from the through holes 211 and are sandwiched between the sliding slots 40 , and is unlatched from the body 10 while the latching posts 730 are inserted in the through hole 211 .
  • the portable electronic device 100 is shown in a locked state.

  • the cover 20 is unlatched from the body 10 by operating the latching member 70 , as a result, the cover 20 is rotatably flipped opened, and the electronic device 100 is used in a foldable fashion.
  • the display 60 is used as a display device, and the input device 112 is used to receive user input operation.
  • the sliding members 30 slide along the sliding slots 40 from the first portion 401 to the second portion 402 .
  • the cover 20 is rotated to latch the latching member 72 at the first portion 401 away from the second portion 402 , such that the cover 20 folds over on the body 10 again with the display 60 exposed.
  • the electronic device 100 can be used in a panel fashion, and the display 60 is operated as an input device to receive touch inputs and also as an output device to display information.
  • the sliding member 30 of the electronic device 100 When not in use, the sliding member 30 of the electronic device 100 is movable to the first portion of the sliding slots 40 , away from the second portion 402 .
